Enigmatic Incongruence Between Mtdna and Ndna Revealed by Multi www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Enigmatic incongruence between mtDNA and nDNA revealed by multi-locus phylogenomic analyses Received: 28 August 2018 Accepted: 5 April 2019 in freshwater snails Published: xx xx xxxx Takahiro Hirano1, Takumi Saito 2, Yoshihiro Tsunamoto3, Joichiro Koseki2, Bin Ye2,4, Van Tu Do5, Osamu Miura6, Yoshihisa Suyama3 & Satoshi Chiba2,7 Phylogenetic incongruence has frequently been encountered among diferent molecular markers. Recent progress in molecular phylogenomics has provided detailed and important information for evolutionary biology and taxonomy. Here we focused on the freshwater viviparid snails (Cipangopaludina chinensis chinensis and C. c. laeta) of East Asia. We conducted phylogenetic analyses and divergence time estimation using two mitochondrial markers. We also performed population genetic analyses using genome-wide SNPs. We investigated how and which phylogenetic patterns refect shell morphology. The results showed these two species could be separated into four major mitochondrial clades, whereas the nuclear clusters supported two groups. The phylogenetic patterns of both mtDNA and nDNA largely refected the geographical distribution. Shell morphology refected the phylogenetic clusters based on nDNA. The fndings also showed these two species diversifed in the Pliocene to early Pleistocene era, and occurred introgressive hybridisation. The results also raise the taxonomic issue of the two species. Molecular phylogeny provides a robust framework for investigations in the felds of taxonomy and conservation biology, such as on species diversity and the patterns of geographical distribution1. For example, molecular phy- logenetic studies have clarifed the taxonomic issues of whether species are endemic or alien2 and the existence of cryptic species3. However, by comparing the phylogenetic patterns determined using diferent molecular markers, it has become clear that there is incongruence between the molecular markers even in a lineage determined using the same sample4,5. To resolve this problem, the inference of species trees from multi-locus data can be benef- cial6,7. Although molecular phylogenomics such as a multi-locus approach provides more detailed information than an approach that uses a single or a few genes for applications in evolutionary biology and taxonomy8–10, such study is still limited. Under these circumstances, molluscs are an excellent model to compare the relationships among phylogeny, morphology, and geographical distribution patterns. Tey are the second most diverse phylum of animals11 and molluscs also show a high level of local adaptation and genetic divergence among populations12. In particular, many studies of freshwater snails have documented substantial incongruence between their molecular phylogeny and morphology, suggesting parallel or convergent evolution13,14 along with cryptic speciation15, cryptic inva- sions16, and the retention of ancestral polymorphisms or introgression14. However, there are not many phyloge- netic studies of molluscs using genome wide screens with SNPs so far, therefore, studies investigating mechanisms of incongruence using multi-locus data are needed. Here, we focus on the freshwater viviparid snails of Japan. Cipangopaludina chinesis has two subspecies, C. c. chinensis (Gray, 1834) and C. c. laeta (Martens, 1860). Te taxon chinensis is distributed in parts of mainland 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, USA. 2Graduate school of Life Sciences, Tohoku University, Miyagi, Japan. 3Kawatabi Field Science Center, Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tohoku University, Miyagi, Japan. 4Agricultural Experiment Station, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. 5Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam. 6Faculty of Agriculture and Marine Science, Kochi University, Kochi, Japan. 7Center for Northeast Asian Studies, Tohoku University, Miyagi, Japan.

On the other hand, laeta is distributed in Japan, and was listed as vulnerable due to the declining of populations in the Red Data Book 2014, Treatened Wildlife of Japan17. Tese species have also been spread unintentionally through the expansion of agriculture, such as through rice farming18. Terefore, in a previous study it was suggested that C. c. laeta is not native to Japan and was actually introduced from China, as these species are not present in the Pleistocene and Holocene fossil record of Japan18,19. However, in another study, a fossil was potentially identifed as C. c. laeta from a Toyono formation (0.5–0.3 Ma20). In addition, our previous phylogenetic study showed that C. c. laeta of mainland Japan is most likely native because of its genetic diferences from nominotypical subspecies C. c. chinensis according to GenBank data21. However, no comprehensive studies have been performed to clarify the genetic divergence between each population of C. c. laeta in the Japanese Archipelago, including Kyushu and the Ryukyu Islands. In particular, because the Kingdom of the Ryukyus frequently undertook cultural exchange with China and main- land Japan, the population of the Ryukyu Islands probably consists of alien populations from mainland Asia and/ or mainland Japan. In the present study, we thus investigate the phylogenetic relationships of the East Asian C. c. chinesis/laeta subspecies group using mitochondrial and multi-locus nuclear DNA by Sanger and next-generation sequencing. We compare the phylogenetic relationships of mtDNA and nDNA, and clarify whether they are incongruent. We also conduct estimations of divergence time using mtDNA and nDNA. In addition, by using quantitative shell morphological analysis of these species groups, we test which of the phylogenies of mtDNA and nDNA refect the shell characteristics. Finally, we discuss the observed evolutionary patterns and provide information about these taxa that is of fundamental importance for their taxonomic classifcation. Results mtDNA phylogeny. Te results of maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian analyses were largely consistent with the relatively well-supported clades. Only clades with high support (i.e. posterior probability ≥0.95 or boot- strap support >70%) are here considered further. Cipangopaludina chinensis species were separated into four major clades (Fig. 1). Clade mtA was mainly com- posed of C. c. laeta from mainland Japan, though this clade was highly support by ML analysis only. However, we treat this group as monophyletic for convenience. It also included C. c. laeta of the Ryukyu Islands, except for Iriomote Island and Fukue Island. Te subspecies C. c. chinensis of Taiwan and China (Hunan), and two diferent species [C. longispira (Cl) and C. ventricosa] formed the clade mtB. In clade mtC, some populations of C. c. laeta from the northern part of Kyushu and C. c. chinensis of South Korea (Suncheon) were recovered as monophy- letic. We recovered sister relationship between clades mtA–C and lineages of south Chinese species [including endemic species of ancient lake groups of Yunnan Province (Margarya) and C. longispira (KIZD148)]. However, some other populations of Kyushu, Vietnam, South Korea (Haenam), and Hawaii (introduced) clustered together as clade mtD; in addition, in comparison with the relationship between clades mtA–C and the south Chinese species group, clades mtA–C and clade mtD were more genetically diferent. As a consequence, the phylogenetic relationships refected the geographical distribution patterns (Fig. 2). Besides, clade mtD was divided into four subclades refecting the geographical distribution, but the Japanese populations (Kyushu Island) of this clade had only one haplotype (mtD4; Table S1). In contrast, clade mtA was distributed over a wide area but did not have any subclade refecting the geographical distribution pattern. Notably, a single haplotype (mtA3) was distributed from Hokkaido to Fukue Island. Estimation of divergence time using mtDNA. For the molecular clock analysis, the ESS values produced in Tracer v.1.6 were considerably higher than 200. Each marginal likelihood estimate is UL model (−3299.3077) and SC model (−3313.7642), and the Bayes factor is 14.4566. For convenience, we frst assigned numbers to the cardinal nodes from 1 to 10 (Table 1, Fig. 3).

In addition, the mean times for Clade mtA– mtC + South China (including Margarya) group (node 2) and Clade mtA + mtB + mtC (node 3) were estimated to be 3.63 Ma (UL model, lower and upper 95% HPD interval 2.00–5.73 Ma) and 2.88 Ma (SC model, lower and upper 95% HPD interval 2.05–3.72 Ma), and 2.37 Ma (UL model, lower and upper 95% HPD interval 1.18– 3.93 Ma) and 1.74 Ma (SC model, lower and upper 95% HPD interval 1.16–2.33 Ma), respectively.

The molecular phylogeny based on the combined dataset indicates that Margarya is polyphyletic, as two of the three well-supported clades containing species of Margarya also comprise species from other viviparid genera. In one clade, sequences of four species of Margarya even cluster indiscriminately with those of two species of Cipangopaludina, indi- cating that the current state of Asian viviparid taxonomy needs to be revised. Additionally, these data suggest that shell evolution in viviparids is complex, as even the large and strongly sculptured shells of Margarya, which are outstanding among Asian viviparids, can apparently be easily converted to simple smooth shells.

Semisulcospira contains two subgenera, Semisulcospira and Biwamelania, and these five new species belong to the subgenus Biwamelania. Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) nakamurai nov. sp., Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) pseudomultigranosa nov. sp., Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) spinulifera nov. sp., Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) kokubuensis nov. sp., and Semisulcospira (Biwamelania) pusilla nov. sp. are described herein. These species appear to be the direct ancestors of fifteen extant species of Biwamelania that have been diversified in Lake Biwa for the last approximately 400,000 years; then, these occurrences can provide valuable information to understand the history of diversification of Biwamelania species in Lake Biwa.

Using data sampled on a nationwide scale from streams in South Korea, we identified the crucial environmental factors influencing the distribution and abundance of freshwater gastropods. We used nonmetric multidimensional scaling and the random forest model to evaluate the relationships between environmental factors and gastropod assemblages. Among the 30 recorded species, two invasive gastropod species (Pomacea canaliculata and Physa acuta) have enlarged their distribution (10.4% and 57.3% frequency of occurrence, respectively), and were found to be widespread in streams and rivers. Our results revealed that the most influential factor in the distribution of gastropod assemblages was the ratio of cobble (%) in the substrate composition, although meteorological and physiographical factors were also important. However, the main environmental factors influencing species distribution varied among species according to habitat preference and environmental tolerance. Additionally, anthropogenic disturbance caused a decrease in the distribution of endemic species and an increase in the spatial distribution of invasive species. Finally, the results of the present study provide baseline information for planning successful strategies to maintain and conserve gastropod diversity when facing anthropogenic disturbance, as well as understanding the factors associated with the establishment of invasive species.

Comparison of the obtained results with those of earlier investigations performed during the Accepted 24 September 2010 period of 1940s and 1980–1999 as well as 2000–2004 showed that changes have occurred in the interval. There were 31 species and 2 sub-species recorded prior to the 1940s, but the species richness decreased Keywords: from a high level of 83 species and 7 sub-species to 16 species and one sub-species from 1990s to the Eutrophication early of 21st century in lake body. Species from the genera of Kunmingia, Fenouilia, Paraprygula, Erhaia, Mollusks community Dianchi basin Assiminea, Galba, Rhombuniopsis, Unionea and Aforpareysia were not found in Dianchi basin after 2000. The Historical datasets species from the genera Lithoglyphopsis, Tricula, Bithynia, Semisulcospira and Corbicula were only found in the springs and upstream rivers.
